Big Girl Room Updates

Happy April 1st! I wish I could say I had some updates on finding a house. Hopefully soon.

I do have a few updates on Sheila's big girl room. Ideally, when we move I'd like to transition her right into her new room = new bed = new bedding, sheets, etc. So I started ordering things so we're ready to go.

My jumping off points were the photos in the upper right and bottom right corner - a color palette of pale pink and pale blue. Then I came across the Thomas Paul Botany fabric and thought that was a perfect choice for some window treatments. Here's a photo of the full repeat so you can see more of it. Seeing the full repeat allows you to see the variety of flowers and insects brought into the pattern - perfect for a young girl's room.

I also ordered the pink floral block print pillow cover from Lands End. I can't say enough good things about this pillow cover - it's so pretty in person. And, wait for it, on sale for $16.99.

Lastly, I did a little digging at Target the other day, and found this quilt in the twin size that I needed on clearance. Love seeing that sale sticker!

I'm excited to have made a little progress on this project - at least someone will have a room ready for her when we move :) I've also been scouring Craig's List in search of a bed so hoping to find something soon at a good price.

Awesome, Holly!! Its so fun, isn't it?! Glad I am not the only one just buying stuff without implementing it yet;) I looove what you have so far, this room is going to be so pretty. Seriously, that fabric is amazing. Way to score on the PB Kids stuff!!! I never would have thought to get a pillow like that at Lands End. Great find!!! Good luck with the bed...we just actually brought home my old twin headboard and foot board (from when I was growing up) for Maura this weekend, got it while we were at my parents for Easter. Still hesitant about the transition, but at least now we are both looking a bit more prepared:) Hope the house hunting pays off soon!

Holly, I love all your finds! You already know I love TP Botany fabric - so pretty! And, that Lands End pillow - love it! Sheila is one very lucky girl and I'm sure she is excited to have her new big girl room in her new house!!
